Now what kind of sicko would try to drown a flower?....
....certainly not the same kind who would flush a toilet for two hours while getting lost in the adventure?
Seriously though, those toilet photos were phenomenal. Out of this world. Really!
Yeah, what kind of sicko would do that? My question exactly.
Thanks so much for the props on the toilet photos. Wish we could come up with a more elegant name for them, however.
Well how about "The Commode Series"? Or, "Those Elegant Toilet Photos"? Or, "How Did He Take Those Toilet Photos?"
Because I seriously do think these are an inspired idea and then also really cool how you executed them, I will resist making any jokes about them. Really I will. I like how the action and violence of the moving water is captured in just one click of the lens.
I do need to ask, though... Will we be treated to the prequel series? "Water Shapes -- Before The Flush"?
No jokes though, people, I mean it. Including the 20 or so that have come to mind for me personally.
How 'bout "Ode to the Commode"?
Hey, were only jokes to come withiyt the kudos, I'd cry myself to sleep. But since you've been so over-the-top with the props, I say do the world a favor and share another joke (or five).
Understood!
And let me say for the record, your "CommOde" idea is just plain genius!!! Love it.
Much better than mine. Certainly better than "Stool Jewel," or "Joylet," and much better than "100% Ball Valve Tribute."
I do confess though, a few questions have come to mind. For instance,
Were these toilet shots still taken in the spirit of the "my favorite places on Rome" series? As your other readers and I suspect?
Were you physically sitting atop the toilet tank, or one-handing it from the side? I can see one-handing it, but if that's the case then you somehow were able to line up the angle of the top-down shots with the squared off precision of a survey crew of five men, all while snapping the shot and flushing. And I'm not sure what else was going on, post flush... This is meant as high praise to you, obviously. Ansel Adams never undertook challenges like that, with all those static mountains.
When you turned off the lights, did the other bathroom patrons complain (assuming a public commode)?.... Likewise, if done at home, do you have some sort of Stonehenge-like sundial on your bathroom wall, so as to track the angle of the sun as it glints off the water in the john?
If done at your house, how many "I'm in the terlet!!"s did you have to scream out to the family, ala Archie Bunker, while you flushed the water bill to new heights?
See these are honest quesions about fine work. Sometimes we need a little behind the scenes pass.
Or, sometimes we don't.
I will get to these fine questions. And soon. "I'm in the terlet," was in fact uttered. Good insight!
Joylet is best of all, btw. Love it.
